A View to a Quill: The Press Club of Western PA honors The Allegheny Front
Congratulations to Community Connections Regional grant recipient The Allegheny Front, Western PA’s long-running environmental radio show, which took home three of The Press Club of Western PA’s prestigious Golden Quill Awards on Monday. (The Allegheny Front is currently at work on their Pittsburgh Environmental Oral History Project, funded by a Community Connections Regional grant.) The Quills, handed out annually to recognize “professional excellence in written, photographic, broadcast and online journalism” in the region, came in the categories of Continuing Coverage, Feature/Documentary, and Enterprise/Investigative radio journalism for series and stories produced by The Allegheny Front in 2007.
But don’t fret, latecomers! All of TAF’s stories are archived on their website. So you’re only a click away from hearing Jennifer Szweda Jordan’s Continuing Coverage category-winning series on food and the environment, “Earth’s Bounty.” Or Ann Murray’s winner in the Radio Feature category, “Green Golf Courses,” and Reid Frazier’s piece, “Coal Country Ponders a Landfill,” a winner for Radio Investigative/Enterprise reporting. And for those of you, like me, who still get your radio through the airwaves, The Allegheny Front broadcasts weekly on stations across the region. Tune in Wed., June 4, for the premier installment of their Pittsburgh Environmental Oral History Project!
The Allegheny Front’s Pittsburgh Environmental Oral History Project is a Regional Project supported by a $35,000 grant from Pittsburgh 250 Community Connections and The Sprout Fund.
